Forge Beta: 05-04-2012 ver 1.2.7

(Quest icons used created by Teekatas, from his Legendora set http://raindropmemory.deviantart.com)

10790 cards in total.


This version includes 90% (+) of the cards that are available in the new Avacyn Restored card set.

Some adjustments to the pets in quest mode were made. This includes a new pet.

Some people have noticed recently that cost change was working for the human player but not the computer player. A fix was made and this should no longer be a problem.

The Battlefield UI has a new feature implemented which allows us to move and resize the panels to new places on the battlefield. This allows us to personalize the battlefield display to our own liking. You should try moving panels by clicking and dragging their tabs.

If you do not like your efforts to personalize the battlefield display you can revert the display to the default layout by clicking on the Dock button labeled "Revert layout".

A bug with the constructed mode has been discovered and has not yet been fixed. If you select "Fully random color deck" and activate the "Singleton Mode" checkbox Forge will freeze when you click on the Start button. This is now fixed and you can once again use singleton mode.

A bug with the transform and flip cards has been reported recently. This bug prevents you from casting these cards from your hand. It is currently being investigated and a possible fix has been submitted to the SVN.


A couple of problems with the quest mode were noticed some time ago and they have been discussed on the developer section of the forge forum.

Some people have noticed special quests do not have the start in play cards appearing. And some people have noticed that a match can start without any cards appearing in the players hands or in their libraries.

We hope to have this problem fixed at some point in the future. We have a fix to the bug that affected the special quests. This should allow the start in play cards to appear at the start of a match.


The Forge archive includes a readme.txt file and we ask that you spend a few minutes reading this file as it contains some information that may prove usefull. We do tend to update this file at times and you should quickly read this file and look for new information for each and every new release. Thank you.

We have changed the archival format used for the Forge distributions from ".zip" to ".tar.bz2". There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to decompress these ".tar.bz2" archives. We recommend that you decompress the Forge archive into a new and unused folder.

Some people use the Windows application 7zip. This utility can be found at http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. Mac users can double click on the archive and the application Archive Utility will launch and extract the archive. Mac users do not need to download a separate utility.


Many people helped with this version. A special thank you goes out to them. (Attempted to list names alphabetically):

That's great, thanks a lot guys and many thanks for adding Charisma

[friarsol]

Officially 95.3% of Avacyn Restored, which is more than both NPH and SOM.

[uhlersoth]

Just downloaded the beta. On my turn, I cast Pillar of Flame on the AI's Screeching Bat, and it did not cause the AI's tapped Galvanic Juggernaut to untap.

Edit: Please ignore. Thanks to slyphidine (below) for pointing out that the Pillar of Flame causes the creature to be exiled. (It's little "gotcha's" like that which will always make me simply a mediocre M:tG player )

It shouldn't. Pillar of Flame exiles the creature.

[uhlersoth]

The AI does not take advantage of the fact of the Ashmouth Hound's bonus point of damage. For example, if the AI has an Ashmouth Hound and I have a Selfless Cathar, the AI does not attack, as if expecting that my Selfless Cathar will kill the Ashmouth Hound.

[uhlersoth]

I have a Curse of Death's Hold and a Havengul Vampire in play. The AI keeps trying to summon creatures of toughness 1, even though they die immediately and feed my vampire +1/+1 counters.

[sagephoenix]

Very Nice! The whole block itself is only missing 15 cards.

Altar of the Lost
Back from the Brink
Bruna, Light of Alabaster

The AI targeted me twice with the same Arc Trail.

Can I play Forge 1.2.7 online with my friend?

[moomarc]

Can I play Forge 1.2.7 online with my friend?

I'm afraid Forge is still quite some way from supporting human vs human (over the internet or from the same computer). There was some interest by a potential new developer a short while ago, but haven't heard anything since, so don't know if it turned out to be too big for him to handle or if he's just not posted any comments on the progress.

Which software is the best to play online with people? I play Virtual Playtable, but Virtual Playtable don't have rules and is best i can find

[cc-drake]

I cast my suspended Nihilith, attack, it dies in combat and I return it with Sigil of the New Dawn to my hand. Now Nihilith has

Fear, Haste, Haste, Haste, Haste, Haste, Haste

Whenever a card is put into an opponent's graveyard from anywhere, if Nihilith is suspended, you may remove a time counter from Nihilith.
Suspend 7 - 1 B
Damage: 4

and dies immediately when I recast it.

[lugaru]

No chance to test it until tonight but I'm thrilled... I tried the "pre release" build and was digging miracles and soulbound a lot. In the real world I'm picking up a stack of packs tomorrow and we are doing a full block draft (Innistrad, Dark Ascention and Avyacin Restored) at a friends house. I'll be showing up with FORGE on a portable hard drive to pass everyone the most recent version with images. Yeah, sounds like the nerdiest day ever, but to my credit I'm leaving early for a date.

As for multiplay I suggest Cockatrice, it is a really easy to use piece of software, but it does not have rules enforcement if I remember correctly (have not used it in a while).
